Organisers couldn’t confirm any of the acts but said a line-up would be announced over the coming weeks.

The festival will boast a main stage, Essential stage and a Megadog stage, plus two other stages and a cinema.

A spokesman for Harvey Goldsmith‘s office said: “We’re going for a cooler ‘festival vibe’ and we’re not going to waste our money on headline bands that are playing all the other festivals.”

Tickets are provisionally priced at #99, which includes free camping at two sites just outside the main arena. They are yet to go on sale.

The entertainments licence application as NME has not yet been confirmed.

Meanwhile, the organiser of the proposed Carlyon Bay beach festival, Night Time Concerts, is waiting to fix a date for an appeal at a magistrates’ court after Restormel Borough Council refused to grant the event a licence for 16,000 people.

Night Time insists the festival will go ahead even if the appeal is unsuccessful as it already has a licence for 6,000 people.

A spokeswoman for the promoters told NME: “Even if this appeal fails we plan to take it to crown court level. We’re all very confident.”
